Yeah buddy!! Now you get to see how useless 1st gear can be haha. Huge difference I can imagine from the lack of routed air through the charger. Is that gauge spiking like it should now haha? Good to hear that fixed her.

yup first gear sucks ball. lol. just wait til you pulley down! hahahahahahaha. i have to baby the car to have any use of first. if i were to drive now how i did before the blower, i would spin the tires ever time i left a light.
how you doing in the west side alan?
Yeah I have to give it more than half throttle to loose traction, but I have some pretty sticky tires even for all seasons (Dunlop SP Signatures). Its def a night and day difference with how it ran before. In higher gears I barely have to try to get 7-8 psi. I'm still waiting for an opportunity to go full wot and see what she's got. Too much damn traffic so far haha. I am kind of scared about all the wheel hop horror stories I hear on cobaltss.net. I guess I'm pretty safe from that as long as I don't give it too much gas from a dead stop right?
We dont wheel hop as bad as the SS do. Only time I wheel hop is when I try to launch without spinning the wheels and dont get it exactly right. Otherwise if I dont have enough traction I just blow the wheels off it.
